It was another record take — $2.6 million in total — for Meals on Wheels at Fort Mason Center last Sunday when more than 1,000 guests, at least 100 chefs and 30 sommeliers raised forks and glasses in support of nutritional health for home-bound seniors.

Roxie redux: And the recent Dinner Party III (a report of which is also contained above in the click-through “here” link) in support of the Roxie Theater, raised $40K for one of the nation’s longest-running cinemas.

The theater is now a non-profit dedicated to exhibiting works from emerging, underrated and independent filmmakers. And this summer, planning will begin to make the Roxie a sustainable center for art, film and technology.

“Film is collaborative, belonging to a group of people. And I’m incredibly grateful to the San Francisco film community for that,” toasted Weber. “I”m also grateful to the Roxie for remaining independent in a radically changing community.”
